Bunmi Otegbade

I am an investor and tech entrepreneur from Nigeria. Focused on youth employment in Africa, I co-founded Zest.com.ng, SkillNav.co and GenerationEnterprise.org to provide transferable skills and career pathways for marginalized youth using technology across Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya.
 
To support the African innovation ecosystem, I created the Africa Startup Academy and through AVDD.gov.ng, funded over 80 impressive technology startups, and featured Mark Zuckerberg. I have invested in food, healthcare, and energy startups, and served as a policy advisor to Lagos State Government. I hold degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Public Policy from Baylor University and Princeton University.

Prior to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I was a management consultant advising Africa’s biggest companies in manufacturing, telecoms and banking across Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and South Africa.
